Launchbox incorrectly showing that PS2 Bios is missing - Bug?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I've recently been setting up PS2 emulation in launchbox, using retroarch as emulator. There's a bit of an oddity that I wasn't sure whether was a Launchbox or a Retroarch issue; when I attempt to launch roms, I'm told that a dependency isn't satisfied.

When I check the dependency (screenshot) It shows that the bios can't be found... except that I DO have the correct bios in the correct location, and that 'Play anyway' will correctly launch the ROMs.

I'm posting so that the Launchbox team can have a look - it's reporting the bios folder name as bios' instead of bios (see pic) in the first half of the text - the \system\pcsx2\bios location specified contains my bios files, but I think the verification might be using an incorrect name (with a ' appended) when trying to verify.

Note that 'Open Location' opens my pcsx2 folder, not my pcsx2/bios folder. So I'm assuming that there's some sort of path issue confusion due to the ' (maybe)?

I'll need to take a look at the code but that is not how that window should look. Should list the various BIOS that the emulator supports. I'd try running the installer over your current install again and see if it corrects. Not really sure how what you're seeing would even be possible given the code in place atm.

Curious. No change on reinstall (13.14) - I should note that the other retroarch core pages DO correctly list the files/dependencies as you stated (e.g. as below). It's just the PS2 page that seems to be reporting strangely.

(example of a 'good' page below)

OH, that explains why I'm not seeing what you are... Didn't even notice you're using RetroArch. I wasn't even aware there WAS a PCSX2 Libretro core. I've only ever used (or heard used) the standalone emulator. I'll have to take a look again now that I'm on the same page as you.

This problem has been driving me crazy too. Same issue, I have the BIOS files but for some reason--Launchbox won't launch retroarch. Everything worked fine until the latest update which changed the settings somehow. 
Any help is greatly appreciated. 
Thanks

I'm having the same issue with the Playstation 1.

I went to reinstall the platform and it comes with a missing BIOS file. See attched. The file is in 2 locations and none work. Changing the path doens't seem to be reflected in the error message either.

I have been getting the same issue with PCSX2. I wander is its because on my Launchbox platforms i had to manually add it to the bottom. I have tried to reload the emulator and ALL bios files for it. I have also tried the stand alone folder as if it wasnt loaded through Launchbox but still no luck. It will play the games just wont give me the green go sign.

I Just wanted to add a few other screenshots from what pops up when directing the file location. You can change it to "all files" from the Binary Folder to display the .bin files but get the attached error code when clicking any of the files.

Update is already out. You can just check the box to not show the BIOS error in LaunchBox if you don't want LB to warn you about stuff like that. No functionality has changed in this version once you check that box and ignore the feature.
